OB Mardi Gras
This year marks the second anniversary of OB Mardi Gras. Starting the show off will be a NOLA themed second line march up Newport Ave (on the sidewalk) at 3:30 PM. Paul & Ric promise their event will embody the spirit, sights, sounds and scents of New Orleans. With the addition of Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas, local OB favorites Band of Gringos plus Cajun/Zydeco favorites the Bayou Brothers this year’s event has all the gumbo ingredients to fire up the crowd. Paul Bolton and Ric Lee are both San Diego natives and have a rich history in Ocean Beach. Paul grew up in Ocean Beach and owned/founded The Electric Chair in 1984 and The Ocean Beach Playhouse in 2011. Ric Lee lived in Ocean Beach much of his youth and played drums in the Blonde Bruce Band and founded San Diego’s favorite Cajun/Zydeco band the Bayou Brothers band in 1995. Complimentary red beans & rice will be served (while supplies last) and Winston’s will be having hurricane drink specials as well. Go-Go dancers will be throwing out Mardi Gras beads to the crowd during the evening as well.
